gardasil, anyone?

Is everyone getting this, or am I the only idiot to believe them megapharmaceuticals?

It's supposed to be a cervical cancer vaccine which protects against 4 types of HPV.

And it's rather expensive.

My $$ is going to fund Merck's takeover of Schering-Plough. Great. Let's all help in getting more people retrenched so that huge companies can cut both cost and competition. I like competition. I like watching them pharmaceutical giants squirm in their pedestals as they watch their patents expire and generics give them a run for their money.

I don't like needles. Doctors laugh everytime before they jab me. I don't know why. Now my butt is sore :(

Oh well, at least (and here I quote the good doctor) "the guys can start queuing after your final shot, which is in 6 months."

Felt like saying "what about girls?" 

But never mind :D my poor mother!
